Spain's Marijuana Crisis: The Rise of Spain's Drug Smuggling Networks

Spain, a major hub for international drug trafficking, faces a growing crisis as marijuana cultivation and smuggling networks expand within its borders. Once a destination for recreational drug users, Spain has now become a significant producer and exporter of cannabis, with large-scale plantations and sophisticated smuggling operations operating across the country. The country's geographical proximity to Morocco, a major marijuana producer, and its extensive coastline have made it a prime location for drug trafficking routes. As demand for cannabis increases globally, Spain's drug smuggling networks continue to evolve and adapt, posing a complex challenge to law enforcement and raising concerns about the impact on public safety and national security.
